Thank you for considering investing in the artistic, cultural and educational endeavours of Avant. It is only through your financial support can we continue to bring dynamic, diverse, and engaging content to North Florida.

Avant, a registered 501(c)3, launched in Spring 2016, donating $4,500 worth of CDs, books, and DVDs to the Jacksonville Public Library. Since its inception, the series hosted/produced 5 concerts, with a combined attendance of over 2,000 people.

The scope of Avant continues to grow as Avant becomes a weekly radio program on WJCT 89.9 FM in the Fall of 2017 and a quarterly film series hosted in partnership with Sun-Ray Cinema launching early 2018.

Investing in Avant is an opportunity for music, film, and ideas not currently making its way to North Florida to have a platform for the community connect and digest new media. As we cultivate a community of open-minded, broad thinkers of music, our goal is for this openness to new culture to expand into an openness to dialoguing with “the other” in our schools, our communities, and our world.
